So, I spent 4 hours at the hospital getting Pul Fcn Test, Chest xray, LOTS of blood work and a venous doppler on my legs... Spoke w/ the nurse intake person about pre-op instructions and some soap that I have to shower w/ for 3 days... The people were great!! Spent most time talking than testing... So... barring some freaky blood work issue, I'm on for MONDAY!!!!

I'm so hungry right now.. but I'm smiling knowing that it's almost over!!!! I love my surgeon, hospital and friends right now... They've been super supportive!

youre scheduled for the 19th right?

OMG! you are almost there! good luck to you! But I know you dont need it because you will do great! I am so happy for you to start your new life! congrats!!!!

oh and make sure to take lots of pictures along the way so you can see the difference because you will want to, and it is hard for our minds to wrap around the fact that we are losing weight so it is hard to see it when you are in the middle. I can look in the mirror and I cant tell that I have lost a pound, but when I look at the pictures Im like.....holy moses I have lost soooooo much!

I'm doing the happy dance for you!

Woohoo, so excited for you!!! You are going to rock your sleeve, woman.

make sure you write out a very long descriptive post about EVERY SINGLE DETAIL! lol. i loooooooooove reading peoples stories, step by step! makes me feel like i was there with them. i plan on writing out every little thing! thoughts and all. lol. i cant believe we are almost here! i cant wait for the weekend to begin!

I am so excited for you!!! Glad you are all done with preop stuff. You will do fantastic! I just know it. Try to calm down, even though its so hard. I was so hyped up before my surgery, it was hard to breathe and I couldnt sleep a wink the night before.... You get plenty of sleep once they give you the good stuff and you will nap on and off all day the day of surgery with the help of a little thing called Morphine! I want to know how you are as soon as you can post that you are ok. I always worry about those people I feel like I know, on their surgery day. I sit by the computer, waiting for them to reply. This is the most caring, supportive site I have been to.

Good luck to you and may it all go very smoothly!!! almost there!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!!

i can believe monday is coming so fast got all the last bloodwork done tuesday, see you in the anesthesia slumber on monday, I will get my report time tommorrow night! down 11 lbs on the preop diet!

I'm happy for everyone that is getting their surgery, but, FavoredOne, I have to admit I have a soft spot for you! I hope you'll be up to posting and letting us know how you're doing very soon after surgery!

Love your smile and can't wait to see the frame around it shrinking so the smile will get bigger!
